Bill’s Original Kitchen has opened at 1 Government St. in Kittery Foreside, in the former location of Stella’s Sweet Cafe.
Chef-owner Bill Clifford will serve a wide variety of small plates in his new 16-seat restaurant, including a Korean prime rib beef combo, an omelet of the day and a lobster roll. The selections include a children’s menu featuring a local jam sandwich and scrambled eggs.
Clifford is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and a former Maine Lobster Chef of the Year. He plans to interact closely with customers in his new restaurant.
“Food is personal, but in most traditional restaurant settings there are a lot of layers between the chef and the diner,” he said in a news release. “Bill’s Original Kitchen is modeled after the single chef-server restaurants I discovered in San Francisco last year. Tucked into small, nontraditional spaces, chefs there are interacting directly with their customers and cooking them amazing food. I knew instantly this was the kind of restaurant I wanted to bring to the Seacoast.”
The restaurant is open from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. for lunch, dinner and take-out every day but Monday.
